Join me in The Dragon's Library for review of shows, movies, games, and books. This is my review of The Sandman, the latest DC Comic Adaptation from Netflix. The Sandman follows Dream of the Endless in 1916, when he is captured by a Cult who had performed a ritual in order to bind his sister, Death. The human steal his tools and keeps Dream imprisoned for over a century, wrecking untold havoc on the Dreaming Realm and their own world. After freeing himself, Dream set’s off to repair the damage, recover his tools, and restore order to his realm. In this bonus 11th episode we see the world of cats and the horror of a muse.

In this episode, I am talking to Joern Alraun, managing partner at Calliope, about the next version of the Calliope Mini Single Board Computer - Calliope Mini v2.
That’s the second time that I interview Joern and the third time we discuss the Calliope Mini - it’s simply a very cool board I guess.
Jørn is an interaction designer, co-founder of several companies with a focus on developing digital learning toys and he is a member of the Interaction Design Association. As you might recall, Joern is the managing partner at Calliope gGmbH and in the last interview with him about the Boson Starter Kit for Calliope Mini, he already mentioned that a Calliope Mini v2 is coming soon.
The Calliope Mini is an educational board for kids to learn coding - if you need details about the Calliope Mini in general, please be sure to look at the shownote links at kidslab.dev for the specific Calliope Mini episodes.
So now the v2.0 of Calliope Mini is out, featuring a memory chip which can hold up to 25 programs. Even better, the Calliope Mini v2 already ships with 25 programs, which means the board can now be used right out of the box, without prior programming. That makes a huge difference when you think of a typical classroom situation and want to get started exploring the board.
I am talking to Amir Baradaran, the CEO and Co-Founder of Foldio. Foldio creates foldable educational toys that work with the well-known Calliope Mini board.
Amir is part of the founding team of Foldio, a company that has its roots at the University of Saarland, Germany. A small team of student researchers took on the challenge to create an educational system that includes paper-based printed circuit boards.
Printed circuit boards are essential for modern day electronics and computers, but normally these are quite stiff and non-flexible boards. The team at Foldio researched how these electric circuits can be printed onto normal paper, which has the benefit that you can fold it and thereby create stunning 3d shapes with a bit of hand-crafting.
Paper is obviously quite cheap, but more importantly it’s a material that kids are very familiar with. Foldio is combining a well-known material, paper, with circuits and sensors to teach kids computer science. Their products work in combination with the Calliope Mini educational board, which is well-known here in Germany and by now sold globally as well.
Their first product - the foldio starter kit - includes instructions for several so-called missions for the kids and also some information for the parents. Also included are of course the colorful paper-based circuit boards.
This episode features an interview with Bernat Romagosa about MicroBlocks, which can be used to program common educational boards such as the BBC micro:bit, Calliope Mini or the Adafruit Circuit Playground Express.
So what is MicroBlocks all about? MicroBlocks is a new programming language inspired by Scratch, that runs right inside microcontroller boards such as the BBC micro:bit, the Calliope Mini or Adafruit’s Circuit Playground Express.
After installing the MicroBlocks editor and flashing the MicroBlocks firmware once, you can quickly upload new code or change existing programs - it’s just takes a second. Of course, the usual suspects for visual coding blocks are available, such as various logic blocks, loops, blocks for controlling the input and output of the micro:bit such as the input pins and LEDs or various math blocks.
In this episode, I am talking to Joern Alraun, managing partner at Calliope gGmbH about the Boson Starter Kit for the Calliope Mini Single Board Computer.
Jørn is an interaction designer, co-founder of several companies with a focus on developing digital learning toys and he is a member of the Interaction Design Association.
More importantly, at least for this interview, he is a managing partner at Calliope gGmbH so he is well aware of everything that concerns the Calliope Mini single board computer which is used at schools and workshops to teach kids about logic and coding.
So the Boson Starter Kit for Calliope includes an extension board and several sensors and actuators. These can be plugged into the extension board easily with the provided cables. Everything comes in a nice case and DFRobot even included some getting started cards that show where each sensor or actuator needs to be connected as well as a simple visual coding example - and believe me: these cards really make a difference in a workshop setting.

Hello and welcome to your Greek Word on A Sunday. A weekly , bite-size podcast for anyone curious on language, etymology and connections. I am your host Emmanuela Lia and wherever you are in the world if you want to entertain your brain for a few minutes, this is the podcast for you. Let's go!
In Greek Mythology, there are nine Muses with Apollo as their leader Καλλιοπη (Calliope) the Muse of Epic Poetry, Κλειω (Clio) the Muse of History, Ευτερπη (Euterpe) the Muse of Lyric Poetry, Θαλεια (Thalia) the Muse of Comedy and folklore poetry, Μελπομενη (Melpomene) the Muse of Tragedy, Τερψιχορη( Terpsichore) the Muse of Dance, Ερατω (Erato) the Muse of Love Poetry, Πολυμνια (Polyhymnia) the Muse of Religious Poetry and Ουρανια (Urania) the Muse of Astronomy. Initially they were Nymphs of the mountains and the waters of Greece. Their purpose was to ease human troubles and pain and that purpose had a name. A Muse's touch in a human's life was called ΜΟΥΣΙΚΗ/MUSIC
